Heat pump repairs for Newcastle-under-Lyme homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Newcastle-under-Lyme the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Newcastle-under-Lyme can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault. Heat pump owners in Newcastle-under-Lyme can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
When a heat pump shows an error, loses pressure or stops heating, an engineer diagnoses the cause and explains the repair and its cost before fixing it.
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
For repeated faults in Newcastle-under-Lyme, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Newcastle-under-Lyme quote.

Heat pump repairs in Newcastle-under-Lyme: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
How much does a visit cost in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
Do you also cover Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Stoke-on-Trent, which is about 2 miles east of Newcastle-under-Lyme, and across Staffordshire.
Do refrigerant repairs need a specialist?
Yes. Any work on a heat pump's refrigerant circuit, such as tracing a leak, replacing a component or re-gassing, must by law be done by an F-gas certified engineer where the refrigerant is fluorinated, such as R32; units using R290 (propane) need an engineer trained in flammable refrigerants. On split systems the refrigerant runs through pipes inside your home, so leaks there are more likely than on sealed monobloc units.
How much does a heat pump repair cost?
Heat pump repairs have a typical range of £90–£1,100, including VAT, depending on the part and labour involved. Sensor replacements sit at the lower end, while control boards and refrigerant repairs on split systems sit higher. Every repair starts with a fault-finding visit, with a guide price of £90–£180 for the first hour, and the repair is priced before work goes ahead.
